Great Journeys New Zealand
Great Journeys New Zealand takes you on a picture-perfect journey through the heart of the country.
On rail, every event becomes a unique experience in motion, creating moments that unfold as beautifully as the scenery outside your window. From sleeping volcanoes to cascading waterfalls, sparkling cities to rural farmsteads, golden beaches to snow-capped mountains, New Zealand’s landscapes provide an unforgettable backdrop.
Reserve a private carriage and make the journey entirely for your client, with a dedicated event liaison ensuring effortless coordination from station to track and beyond. Swap the boardroom for a moving venue that inspires, hosting meetings, incentives, private functions and team events onboard with full catering and stopover experiences. Celebrate in style with bespoke journeys designed for your clients and their guests.
With our app and free onboard Wi-Fi, you can even work your way to Auckland for your next business event. Great Journeys New Zealand offers single-day trips, Scenic Plus dining, short breaks, and guided tours—effortless ways to enjoy Aotearoa in motion.
Accessibility:
Our Scenic Class carriages are designed to make everyone feel comfortable. So if you are travelling on our Northern Explorer, Coastal Pacific or TranzAlpine trains with a wheelchair, powerchair or mobility scooter, then you can sit in one of our specially designed wheelchair spaces in the spacious and convenient Scenic Cafe carriage.
Sustainability:
At Great Journeys New Zealand, we believe responsible travel should provide benefits to both communities and the environments we live in. We are committed to supporting a more sustainable future for our beautiful country and partnering with others who share this vision.
To help our guests make informed choices, we offer a Carbon Calculator that estimates the carbon footprint of your journey. Did you know a single person journey on the Northern Explorer from Wellington to Auckland emits around a third of the carbon of a flight? Try the calculator here.
